In The Incredibles, after Bob Parr defeats the first Omnidroid and finds himself with a lot of money and no need to work a job, a montage shows him spending quality time with his family and living the good life, interspersed with scenes of him exercising to get back in shape. It's set to a rousing swing tune, named "Life's Incredible Again" on the soundtrack album.

Up has one of these showing the course of Carl and Ellie's marriage. It gradually transforms into a Sad Times Montage, as we see Ellie's miscarriage and her eventual illness and death.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has one after the FLDSMDFR gets going, with the town being renovated and people requesting (and receiving) various foods. It is played with, though, as one shot shows Brent watching worriedly as the old Baby Brent Sardines billboard is covered with a new ad for Flint Lockwood Napkins.

In The Prince of Egypt when Moses is welcomed into the Midian tribe and becomes a member of their community, even marrying Tzipporah.

The Quiet Earth: Crossed with Shopping Montage as Zac enjoys everything that the abandoned world has to offer: for example, playing "trains" with real trains while dressed in the most expensive suit he could steal and saluting mannequin passengers with a Cuban cigar.

Trainspotting features a montage in which Renton, Spud and Sickboy start using heroin again, set to the fantastically sleazy Nightclubbing by Iggy Pop. Also during this montage, Tommy becomes an addict, Sickboy rambles on about Bond Girls, Renton gives a long list of all the drugs they took, and all of them commit various crimes to fund their habit- including strolling nonchalantly into a nursing home and stealing a TV. The "Good Times" end when Allison's baby daughter dies of neglect.

There's another montage when Renton moves to London and gets a job as a property letting agent, in which he enjoys the trickery of real estate, earning money and actually saving it, and remaining in contact with his girlfriend.

Ghostbusters presents one of these when the ghostbusting business is doing well.

Chasing Amy has a scene like this, showing the growing friendship between Holden and Alyssa. It even has cake!

In Plunkett And Macleane the film shows a string of successful heists and robberies being pulled off by the titular pair in an awesome montage. All while their notoriety rises.

Brilliantly parodied in Wet Hot American Summer when the counselors go into town and within about an hour progress from innocent teen fun to living in a crack house and shooting themselves up with heroin.

Valley Girl shows Randy and Julie in one of these set to the song most associated with the film, namely Modern English's "I Melt With You." The montage even includes a segment in which a disbelieving Tommy spies Julie sharing a piece of pie with Randy at the mall food court.

The Naked Gun contains a montage of Frank and Jane frolicking happily through various settings (including a showing of Platoon!). She promptly hangs a lampshade, saying "I can't believe we managed all this in one afternoon!"

In Barefoot, while Jay and Daisy are traveling cross country in an RVnote and avoiding the cops because Jay stole the RV from his father and Daisy is an escaped mental patient, they stop to have fun at a rural county fair. In the film's last scene, after Jay and Daisy have earned their happy ending, they're riding a merry-go-round just as they did at the fair as a Meaningful Echo.

Supernatural's fifth season finale used one composed of various clips from the series, as Sam remembered all the time he and Dean spent together. This is ultimately what enables him to overpower Lucifer and seal him back in the pit.

Misfits brings out one of these when the team are given the job of sorting donated clothes. Naturally, they use this opportunity to bugger around as much as possible, either flinging themselves into the pile of clothing, pushing each other into it, exchanging jokes, or just trying on the clothes.

The Christmas special also features this when the Misfits decide to sell their mainly Useless Superpowers, and enjoy much happier lives because of it: Alisha, no longer hampered by her lust-inducing touch, enjoys genuinely intimate sex with Simon; Nathan cosies up with Marnie; Kelly joyfully tosses her council-worker's uniform in the bin; Curtis and Nikki gloat over the tickets they've bought with the money. However, the montage takes a very dark turn when the False Jesus is seen in the Power Dealer's office, grinning as he hands over a huge stack of his followers' money in exchange for Alisha's power... which is immediately put to the worst possible use.

Done in one Sunday Calvin and Hobbes strip, which consisted of a montage of the titular duo engaging in various summer fun activities.

Fate/stay night: Subverted oh-so-very-much in a climactic moment near the end of the Heaven's Feel route of the visual novel. Music plays and we get a montage of happy moments between Saber and Shirou just after he's killed her to free her from the corruption of being Saber Alter on the way to stopping Angra Mainyu. Goddamnit, Nasu.

Scarface: The World is Yours has a scene over the opening credits of Tony driving through Miami set to peppy music that comes across as an "It's Great To Be Alive" montage.

Tropico 3 has El Presidente partying with the people of his/her country, if you complete a mission successfully. Definitely shows off the glamour of the Caribbean.

Subverted in The Emperor's New School when Malina tries to have a Good Times Montage (she even lampshades it) with Doyle the Manatee; he just cannot be bothered to partake in most of the activities she tries.

In Arthur, when DW and Binky think they're dying, they do things together like rake leaves, carve pumpkins, and get in a Snowball Fight. When it ends, DW say "It's amazing all the things you can do in one day".
